Our Story
Modestman Brewing is the brain-child of Ash Sheehan, owner/operator and Ben Williams, head brewer/partner. Together, they continue to grow the brewery over their united belief that brewing beer and the communal experience of shared pints, must be intentional and reflective of where our passions lie; reverence and respect to the industry and ultimately the beer.
About the Beer
What intrigues Modestman almost as much as whatever is brewing currently, is the nuanced personalities and intensities behind the product. Modestmanβs head brewer, Ben Williams, has a deep understanding of traditional beer styles. Modestman sources only the finest ingredients possible for our beers. The high quality and attention to detail make way for exceptional world-class beer.
"We work within the trends of the industry without compromising our identity and integrity. We appreciate European style brewing and respect Old World traditions."
- Ash Sheehan
Modestman aims to put New Hampshire on the map for superior New England style beers with the goal to elevate the classic American brewpub, showcasing a deep respect for the beer and intentionality to the culture it celebrates!
